Graduation Requirements Class of 2027, Class of 2028:

To be eligible for graduation, high school students must accumulate at least 22 course credits. One credit is granted for each course successfully completed (grade of D- or better) that meets on a daily basis for the school year or semester.

Of the twenty-two credits required for graduation, students must complete the following core distribution: 

• English 4 credits (excluding electives) 
• Mathematics 2 credits 
• Science 2 credits, one of which must be Biology 
• Social Studies 3 credits, one of which must be a year of American History 
• Health/PE 2 credits, one of which must be in PE and one in Wellness (0.5 credit taken each year)

Although not required for graduation, students are strongly encouraged to study a minimum of one foreign language for four years.
